Jaguar provides two types of Smart Key systems: standard and Display Key. Standard Smart Keys have the same functions as a traditional key, such as locking, unlocking and remote start. However, a Display Key comes with a small LCD touchscreen that displays a variety of vehicle information, including status updates for the engine, navigation and more. It also offers a fast and simple way to control the most basic functions of your car such as turning on the headlamps or activating the panic alarm.
